    That’s the annoying part. It’s not performative.

    From my perspective, it’s like most people just mindlessly stumble through the world how they’ve been taught. They turn on lights not because they need it, but because it’s normal. They trust the label on the back of products over their own lived experience of using it.

    I like the dark. I like the sun. I like being able to see. I see just fine in the dark. Excess artificial lights make it so I see less. This isn’t a me problem, this is you projecting

    I’m not being weird or edgy. I’m not inviting you to comment, I’m being comfortable. I’m so tired of pretending, it’s fucking exhausting. I don’t need to come into the light, I want to be acceped as I am, not what you think I should be. If you ask genuinely wanting to understand, I’d explain that I like it. I’m so tired of explaining myself to people asking “why are you sitting in the dark?”
